  1. As much as that sounds like a great idea the dash. Imagine him in pro play he would become pick or ban as the slight damage reduction would be nothing for that mobility in team fights.

  2. to his ult AP increase arm an mr, and last for 3 sec after. E, increase + ms to 3 sec, add sends out 2/2/2/4/4 additional balls of lightning, can jump to other balls each one time, when jump all the balls arc lightning between each other dealing dmg. AP increase ms, act duration an atk speed. make him mana champ. he is suppose to be an assassin, meaning surprise/ burst dmg

  3. Yeah his e is kinda ballsy u basically have to make sure ur e is the final stack of ur passive so that u can run away before a let’s say Darius or renekton can cc and trade back

  4. Neeko's release completely killed Kennen's career imo, shes kennen but with a better engage and a shield on her ult, plus everything is instant, i switched to neeko top from kennen and havent looked back since.

  5. Interesting thought. What if slicing maelstrom actually sliced.

    Let's imagine kennen hangs a large shurikan on his back. His ult would be a bit like Sejuani ult or Ekko q.

    After throwing it, and on first contact with an enemy, or after traveling a set distance, it explodes, doing much the same effect, but now in a smaller area, and a damage nerf for the range.

    It continues forward at decreased speed, traveling an extra 75-150 units (scaling with rank). Ends with thunder clap. Shurikan reappears on his back when his ult is off cool down

  6. His E just needs to be a short cool down dash, or like storm spirit in Dora that lets you dash as long as you have resources, then move some power off W since I’d say his W isn’t super crucial to his identity. Ideally I’d love some major changes to his ult to be a little less binary, allow kennel players and enemies to do more with and against it , but that would probably get a lot of backlash

  7. Vampire Kennen: Hail of Blades, cheap shot, eyeball, ravenous. cut down and alacrity. attack speed. mr and armour.

    Shieldbow, bloodthirster, berserker's grieves, sanguine blade, bork, phantom dancer. gg

    Max W gives 100% bonus AD.

  8. he's not bad, just needs a team that sinergies with him and he can be the star of the match. The thing is, you are talking like if league was a 1vs1 game or a 2vs2, and that's far from what it is. It's a team game and therefore you need to team up in order to win. A vanguard doing it's job and paying attention to the clamp it generates and you're done, back to looby with a win.

  9. i used to playkennen a lot in my rank games when i was in silver back in S8, i quit playing kennen, i am now plat/diamond. This champion has really weak wave clear, no sustain in lane and his auto range is really short. Now when i see enermy side having a kennen it is just free win, any bruiser that rush merc thread boots can just win by walking straight up and smack kennen's asss.

  10. Uuuuh, I absolutely build deathcap on Kennen. I go mid, take dark harvest, protobelt, boots, deathcap, void staff and I 2 shot people. Kennen wins team fights. I kill Trynd so fast he doesn't have time to ult. Q, W, dead. Sure it's a slow safe start but it pays off mid to late game. Make sure you get your farm and if you know who to focus, it's game over for the enemy team.

  11. I am a Kennen Main myself, but I don't like toplane and I am not good enough to play against like an irelia or something. So I just took kennen midlane and made yasuos suffer. Nobody expects the insane damage and cc kennen can do with his full combo with ult and rocketbelt. I think it's sad, that kennen is so unpopular but at least that means nobody picks it and nobody bans it.

  12. I personally love the explosive duality of champions like Kennen, and here's why:
    1 – As both a mage and assassin main, champs like him are the only ones that allow you to enjoy both the long range safe neutral game of a mage and the explosive all-in of an assassin.
    2 – The duality of his kit makes room for a certain trickster mindset when playing, and there's nothing better than out of the blue just suddenly exploding the face of that pesky other player that spent half the laning phase disrespecting you.

    All in all the Kennen archetype is a hard one to find and removing that duality for a more "intuitive" mainstream playstyle would leave a lot of people without anywhere to go, I think.
    Champs like Kennen don't need to be super popular, they just need to be there for the dedicated few that love them in a way they just can't love anyone else.

    Maybe give him a blink tho, take Alice from Mobile Legends who has lissandra blink (ik mobile moba but please stick with me)
